The President in the chair. 



Mr. B. G. Wilder stated that he had recently examined a 

 live Chimpanzee (Troglodytes niger) just imported from the 

 west coast of Senegambia. 



It is a female, and quite young, as shown by her possessing a com- 

 plete set of milk teeth, and by her height, -which is just two feet. 

 She was brought in by the FuUah negroes to a small town named 

 Buffa, near the mouth of the Eio Pongo, a short distance south of the 

 Eio Nunez ; this is in ten degrees north latitude ; and the animal is 

 found in greater or less abundance as many degrees south, while the 

 Gorilla, and the two other species of Chimpanzee (T. calvus and 

 the Kooloo-Kamba of Du Chaillu) appear to be much more lim i ted in 

 their geographical range. This individual is very gentle and affec- 

 tionate, but a snappish impatience on being denied any gratification 

 already indicates a disposition which, as age advances, is likely to 

 become decidedly ill-tempered. She is now on exhibition in this city, 

 by Captain John Sears, for whom she was purchased in Africa, by
